There is no specific age at which the baby starts teething. But generally babies get their first tooth between 4 and 7 months of age, but in some baby’s it can start much later. Usually, you will notice the front incisors first, but sometimes the top two might make their appearance first. Next, the canines will make their appearance and then the eight molars.

You need to know the signs of teething due to which your baby is disturbed. How will you know that?

Watch out for these teething signs in your baby -

• you will notice your baby drooling often
• you may see your baby gnaw on things, their fingers, or anything they can get the hands on

You can give your baby a teething ring to gnaw on. See that the teething ring is clean every time you give it to your baby, to prevent any infection.

You can allow your baby to chew on soft food such as banana if she has been weaned. Please avoid giving hard food, as it can break into pieces and can choke your baby.

Giving something cold to your baby to hold in the mouth can help, like a cold pacifier, or a cold spoon. But avoid giving frozen teething toys as it might hurt your baby’s gums.
